What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a procedure used to treat infected or inflamed tooth pulp (the inner soft tissue of the tooth). When decay or trauma reaches the nerve, it can cause severe pain, abscesses, or even tooth loss. A root canal removes the damaged pulp, disinfects the inner canals, and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection—helping you keep your natural tooth intact.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Relieves Tooth Pain

Root canal treatment eliminates the source of pain, bringing fast and lasting relief from toothaches and sensitivity.

Saves the Natural Tooth

Rather than removing the tooth, a root canal preserves it—helping maintain natural function, structure, and appearance.

Root Canal Treatment - 04

Restores Comfort and Function

After a root canal and final restoration (like a crown), you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence—without discomfort.

Stops the Spread of Infection

Removing the infected pulp prevents the infection from reaching other areas of the mouth or jawbone.

The Root Canal Therapy Process

At Fifth St Dental, we use modern tools and gentle techniques to make root canal therapy efficient, safe, and as comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:

01

Diagnosis and Digital Imaging

We begin with an exam and x-rays to assess the extent of the infection and confirm that root canal treatment is the best solution.

02

Local Anesthesia and Access

The area is numbed to ensure complete comfort. We create a small opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp.

03

Cleaning and Disinfection

Using precision tools, we remove the infected tissue and clean the root canals thoroughly before filling them with a biocompatible material.

04

Sealing and Restoration

The tooth is sealed and typically topped with a crown at a later visit to restore full strength and function.

Who Needs Root Canal Therapy?

Patients With Persistent Tooth Pain

Ongoing pain in one tooth—especially when chewing or applying pressure—may indicate pulp infection requiring a root canal.

Darkening or Discoloration of a Tooth

A darkened tooth may suggest that the nerve is damaged or dying, often requiring root canal therapy.

Sensitivity to Hot or Cold That Lingers

If you feel sharp sensitivity to temperature that doesn’t go away quickly, the tooth may be inflamed internally.

Swelling or Gum Tenderness

Swollen gums, an abscess, or a small pimple near the tooth can be signs of a tooth infection spreading below the surface.

At Fifth St Dental, the cost of root canal therapy typically starts at around $750, but the final price can vary based on the complexity of the case and the tooth’s location. Molars, for example, may cost more due to their multiple roots. Most dental insurance plans offer partial or full coverage for root canal treatment, as it’s considered a restorative procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a question?
Get in Touch
Is a root canal painful?

No. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, most patients report the procedure feels similar to getting a filling.

Root canal therapy usually takes 1–2 visits, depending on the complexity of the tooth and severity of infection.

In most cases, yes. A crown restores the tooth’s strength and protects it from future damage after root canal treatment.

Left untreated, the infection can spread, cause abscesses, and may eventually lead to tooth loss or systemic health issues.
